Overcoming one of the hardest obstacles in Amateur Radio.
Programming your radio!

Georgia D-STAR
In the Old Days…
• Frequency Setting
• Crystal (had to buy each channel)
• Thumbwheel (single frequency)
• Multiple Memories
• PL Support
• After market board with DIP switches
• Manufacturer supplied boards
• Built-in to radio
Setting Up the Radio

Each Manufacturer uses different methods
Each Radio is different
Lots of channels are tedious to program and hard to edit
Software makes it easier
